The Edinburg project.

Our next home. The design is done and the build is being prepared. Nothing here is built yet: every image on this page is a design visualization of the planned home, not a photograph.

— The design

What is being built.

The house: A single-story home with about 2,367 square feet of living area, a covered patio, and a pool planned behind it.
The direction: Modern Spanish with a Texas hill-country feel: plaster, arches, warm wood and brass.
Floors: Walnut wide-plank through the house. Tile in the wet rooms, the laundry, the pantry and the guest half bath.
Kitchen: A plaster arch range hood over the range, the niche lined in the counter stone.
Lighting: Designed in layers. Hidden light washes the ceiling in place of a grid of downlights, with pendants and wall lights where they are needed.
Planting: Native Texas planting around the house and the pool.

— How we are bringing it to life

From plans to a walkthrough.

The owner sees the home, and can change it, before anything is poured or framed.

Left: a frame from the 3D model of the planned kitchen. Right: the same view finished as a photoreal rendering. Both are design visualizations, not photographs — Left: a frame from the 3D model built from the house plans. Right: the same view as a photoreal rendering. Neither is a photograph.

Plans

We start from the house plans: floor plan, elevations, roof and site.

3D model

The walls, openings and ceiling heights are built in 3D from those drawings, so the rooms are the size the plans say they are.

Photoreal frames

Frames from the model are finished with the chosen materials and lighting, so the owner sees the floor, the stone and the light together.

Walkthrough

The frames become a walkthrough of the home, room to room, before construction starts.

We do this for other people’s plans too.
